Survival, sets forth the doctrine pertaining to survival in an isolated situation. The ATP discusses the tenets of survival and the methods Soldiers, DA civilians, and DA contractors can use when surviving individually or in a group. It aligns and nests with FM 3-50's discussion of personnel recovery. The personnel recovery mission includes preparing Army personnel in danger of isolation while participating in any activity or mission sponsored by the United States. Isolation refers to persons separated from their unit or in a situation where they must survive, evade, resist, or escape. ATP 3-50.21 contains nine chapters and two appendixes.
